3 Bedroom House in San Juan de Parres, Asturias

La Rondita is a fully-equipped holiday home suitable for families, groups or independent travellers, situated at the edge of a traditional Asturian village, close to local facilities and many outdoor activities. Located in the foothills of the Sierra del Sueve, La Rondita is equally close to the Picos de Europa National Park and the Costa Verde's fishing villages and beaches.
Because of this location, La Rondita is ideal for either an active holiday or a relaxing break. To view the house details, please see below.
If walking is your passion, La Rondita offers a number of walks both long and short that can be undertaken directly from the house without needing to drive, plus others that are slightly further afield both in the mountains or on the coast.
Fuentes, where La Rondita is located, has a train station on the narrow gauge FEVE railway, linking between Santander and Oviedo.
This coastline is also known as the Jurassic Coast and there many beaches offering actual dinosaur footprints, plus a visit to the Jurassic Museum of Asturias (MUJA) is a must for any dinosaur enthusiast.
Lunch is an essential part of Spanish life and stopping at one of the many Mesones (Inns) or Sidrerias (cider houses) in the area to try the amazing value Menu del Dia (set meal of the day - 3 courses with choices) is highly recommended. Also, La Rondita is fortunate to be located extremely close to 3 of the 4 Michelin -starred restaurants in Asturias: Casa Marcial (2 stars), El Corral del Indianu (1 star) and Arbidal (1 star). Gastronomy is a key feature of this area.
Recommended local places to visit:
1. Ribadesella - pretty, nearby coastal town with fishing port and beach.
2. Cangas de Onis - gateway to the Picos de Europa, popular tourist town, weekly Farmers Market.
3. Covadonga - religious shrine dedicated to Our Lady set in a grotto in the Picos de Europa, incredible mountainside Basilica plus also spectacular natural lakes set up in the mountains - great for walking!
4. Picu Pienzu - our local 'biggie'..this mountain is 1268m tall and offers breathtaking views across the Sierra del Sueve in the directions of both the Picos and the coast.
5. The Cares Gorge (the classic Picos walk).
6. Incredible beaches, both wide and open (fantastic for surfing) or small and cove-like (good for sheltered swimming and rock-pooling).
7. Oviedo, the capital of Asturias is 45 minutes drive away, small, clean and full of culture, curiosities and shopping!
Interesting fiestas to witness:
1. El Bollu (pronounced bo-yu) - in July celebrates the local chorizo bun!! Local music (bagpipes), traditional costumes, parades, and lots of cider.
2. El Descenso del Sella - the annual canoe race down the River Sella between Arriondas and Ribadesella on the coast, which occurs at the beginning of August. A truly international event, with competitors from many different countries. Worth seeing, both for the party and parades before and the incredible fiesta spirit that absorbs the town for these 24 hours.
3. Amagüestu - the annual fiesta to celebrate the chestnut harvest at the beginning of November. Live music, a traditional food and craft market selling local honey, chestnuts and chestnut products, jewellery, baked goods, freshly-pressed apple juice from the new harvest and many hand-crafted local items.
4. La Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos - every 5th January, Arriondas hosts a parade through the town at night, welcoming the Three Kings who will deliver presents to lucky children the following morning (Epiphany!)

Summary: We have recently spent a wonderful two weeks staying at La Rondita. I had spotted La Rondita about 5 years ago and knew it was somewhere I wanted to bring my husband and two teenage daughters one day. It was certainly worth the wait and exceeded my expectations. The house is in a small village (Fuentes) but only a 10 minute drive from Arriondas which is quite a sizeable town with supermarkets; restaurants; bars, shops, chemist, hospital etc. The house was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The owners (Sara and Bill who live opposite) were very helpful and gave us lots of tips and information. This is not something we have experienced in our previous holidays to Asturias and really enhanced our holiday and gave it a very personal touch. The area really has something for everyone. We enjoyed some very scenic walks in the mountains and some relaxing days on the glorious beaches of which there are many (Cueves del Mar was our favourite). We spent a day in Oviedo (1 hours drive) sight-seeing and shopping. We all enjoyed canoeing down the River Sella and were lucky enough to be there for the International Canoe Festival which was quite a spectacle. All in all it was a wonderful holiday and I can thoroughly recommend La Rondita and the area. Thank you Sara and Bill for everything.
